You can call me Piper or Pipermaru. She/Her.
I like cats. I have two: Ember is an older tortie and Ash is grey and white. Ember is Ash’s mother. They are bonded and I adopted them when they were 10 and 3.

Close up of how Ash’s fur will part and show how the base is kinda white. She looks a bit like the blanket she’s laying on, lol.

I bought two of these donuts. The ladies figured out going inside quickly, but Ember just realized she could sit on top. She looks both comfy and annoyed with me!

I’m tired and stressed out, but still here. I’m worried for my neighbors and trying to do what I can.
And Ember won’t even snuggle me when I get home! She’ll probably join Ash and I eventually.

No one has used this cat bed in months. I put a piece of paper in there, and now Ember thinks it’s a great spot to sleep.

Working from home today is very difficult with these two just snuggling. How am I supposed to get anything done when I could just join them?!

It’s been a difficult news day today in Minnesota. This evening I’m focusing on playing with my cats and not looking at the news anymore. Took a dance class after work to just exist in my body, that helped too.
Stay safe friends.

For this #CatBoxSunday we have two ladies snuggling in the favorite warm box. It’s a little hard to see Ember since she’s more in the shadows.
